The source stressed, “His Excellency was the main target but his driver was smart enough to beat them because they were driving to block him.

“Disappointed that their main target had escaped, they blocked his backup vehicle and burnt it. The four policemen with him were burnt.”

Our correspondent gathered that a reinforcement came from Owerri, the State capital and escorted Ohakim to his house.

When contacted on phone, the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Michael Abattam’s phone rang repeatedly without a response.
